His Contractual Mistress

Chapter 401 - The Feeling

Waking up to a new day, Hailee found the other side of her bed empty.

She glanced at the giant wall clock in the corner of her bedroom. Still, it was too early for her to get up since it was the weekend. But she didn't find Vincent next to her.

'Where did he go?'

Hailee sat up and stepped out of bed, grabbing a robe to wrap her half-naked body. She checked out the bathroom, but there was no sight of Vincent.

'Right!'

Hailee then remembered that there was now a nursery room next to hers. She strode toward the door; it left open a small gap, enough for her to see inside.

Her gaze swept to the room; she then found a half-naked man immersed in building a baby's crib.

The look on Vincent's face was peaceful. Hailee noticed that sometimes, Vincent would smile while looking at the pieces on the floor, picking up one part of the crib, then inspecting the items.

Actually, Vincent was thinking of his girls, the reason for his smile. He is meticulous in putting the parts together. Even though he had already memorized the structures, this time, he still looked at the manual guide to ensure that he did it correctly. He thought to himself that his children's safety was very important.

Hailee has been standing by the door for a couple of minutes already. She left and walked toward the telephone by the wall and called the kitchen.

"Mrs. Brown, please, bring our breakfast to the nursery room."

"Right away, princess."

"Thank you."

Hailee put down the receiver and stepped into the next room. She hugged Vince and placed a loud kiss on his cheek from behind.

"Good morning, my happiness."

Vincent glanced at the woman clinging to him from behind. He stretched his arm and pulled Hailee's head to kiss her lips over his shoulder.

"Good morning, my temptress." He said as he felt one of Hailee's breasts rubbing on his back.

"Hmm… they're lovely," said Hailee, looking at the work that Vincent had done so far.

"It was lovely indeed," he replied meaningfully.

Hailee glanced at Vincent, and he found him grinning at her. She realized Vincent was talking about something else. She reached for his waist and pinched him.

"Silly!"

"Hmm? Who's being naughty early in the morning? Mrs. Shen, do you know the danger if you are seducing me like this?"

Hailee followed Vince's gaze when it lowered to her exposed chest. The lace silk robe she was wearing covered only a little of her skin, which one sleeve slid down from her shoulder.

She pursed her lips into a silly smile and said, "They want to be pampered."

Vincent swallowed saliva after hearing a heavenly invitation his wife had laid down in front of him. His eyes become passionate, and the temperature in the room suddenly becomes hotter.

Hailee placed her palms on Vincent's shoulders as she got up, borrowing strength to support her weight. Then, she stepped in front of him, squatting on his lap.

As their mouths meet, their hands make their way all over their bodies. Vincent stroked Hailee's back with one hand, and the other was on her other breast.

Vincent left Hailee's lips. He planted kisses on her forehead, cheekbones and nibbled her ears. Then, he lowered his mouth, trailing down her long neck, and placed a soft bite on her collarbone while both of his hands kneaded Hailee's breasts, taunting her swollen nipples with his thumbs.

He was on his way down her chest, ready to put one nipple in his mouth, when there was a knock on the door.

Vincent suddenly felt like a bucket of water poured down on him. He straightened his back and met Hailee's gaze with a questioning stare if she had any idea who it was…

Hailee said, "I called the kitchen to bring our breakfast over."

"I see…" May he be disappointed a little, but Vincent doesn't want Hailee to starve.

"You may now enter!"

After Mrs. Brown heard the princess, she pushed the door open, entering the room with the three maids following behind.

"Good morning, princess, Mr. Shen…." Mrs. Brown bowed partly upon greeting the newlywed couple.

"Good morning, Mrs. Brown. Please, set the food on the balcony."

Mrs. Brown nodded. It didn't take her long to arrange the food on the table; she left the room with the maids.

"Let's go… You must starve now." Vincent helped Hailee get up.

"Hmm…"

Hailee slowly stood on her feet. As days pass by, it's getting harder for her to move around.

"Hubby, why don't you want some help?" Heading to the balcony, Hailee queried Vincent regarding the baby cribs. She knew Vincent could do it alone, but it would finish soon once someone helped him assemble the four baby cribs.

Indeed, Vincent could ask for help from the boys or his dad. However, he enjoyed doing it alone, which is a precious memory he would cherish until he's out of breath. It is one of many things he wanted to do for his children.

"I love the satisfying feeling of doing hard work for my kids," he replied Hailee after a moment.

Hailee was too satisfied with his reply. She always knew that Vincent would be a great dad.

"Oh!" Hailee gasps.

"Are they kicking you?"

Hailee nods her head. "Yes. I think they want to let daddy know how happy they were."

Vincent was teary-eyed when he kneeled and placed his hands on Hailee's belly to feel the movement of the babies.

"Hey…" Vincent pressed his ear into Hailee's womb to listen to more movement. "Ah… are they playing inside you?"

Hailee smiled. It amused her watching Vincent have different emotions on his face. Sometimes he was smiling; then, he sniffed as it seemed he was close to bursting into crying.

"We love you so much, daddy!" said Hailee from the bottom of her heart.

After breakfast, Vincent continues assembling the four baby cribs. Hailee noticed that Vincent first set up the crib for the girls. It made Hailee believe Vincent would dote on his daughters more than the boys.

The entire day, the couple just locked themselves inside the nursery room. James attempts to get inside several times, but Vincent ignores the guy until he cannot take it anymore.

"Stop pounding the door, bast*rd!" Vincent yelled at James. He knew why this guy wanted to come inside.

James just wanted to raid Hailee's food at the pantry; even the kitchen had all the food he could satisfy himself to the extreme.

"Those foods are for the babies, not yours! Scram!" Then Vincent shut the door on James' face.

The weekend passed by swiftly. Today is Vincent's first day of training to familiarize every aspect of the Davies Corporation, the empire his father-in-law has built after his forefathers.

Hailee deliberately wakes up early to send off Vincent. She was tying his tie and helping him put on his coat. He was too neat. She could not stop kissing him several times already.

"Do you want me to go to the office, or you will only keep me on the bed?"

"I want the last one." She said coquettishly.

Standing just a few meters away from the couple, Jacob sighs helplessly to watch this scene.

It was just yesterday that his daughter helped him fasten his tie. But now, another man owns all of her attention and affection.

"Uncle Jacob, we are feeling your pain."

James is trying to comfort him. However, how could he believe this guy when grinning ear to ear? Jacob glared at James and said, "Do you want me to cut your salary in half?"

"No…" James deliberately shook his head. "I'll go walk the dogs, uncle! Don't forget my bonus this month!"

'How dare this kid to poke fun at me!' Jacob sneered, lifting the corner of his lips.

"Dad…"

Jacob turned around and watched his daughter walking toward him. "Princess?"

"Please, take care of Vincent," said Hailee, who is making her dad spats inwardly.

'Like he's just five years old to indulge.' Jacob thought.

But he knew his daughter was only concerned about her husband entering the cave full of wolves. Today's conference will determine who would completely support Vincent and those who remain in doubt.

They may already meet Vincent during the wedding, but it's different when they're at work now, and Hailee knew some directors would cause trouble.

"Don't worry, princess. I'm certain that Vincent was fully armored for this battle."

That might be true. But Hailee knew everyone would make things hard for Vincent.

She glanced at her husband, who was talking to his mom. Vincent was standing proud and tall, with his hands inside his pockets.

In Hailee's eyes, her husband is the most handsome man in the world.

She knew Vincent would never back down to those who wanted to bully him. But Davies Corporation is also a family to her... She doesn't want any dispute among everyone, especially when they are both the upper boss. It's the more she wanted everyone to get along.

"Have a good day, dad."

"You too, princess." Jacob kissed his daughter's cheek before heading to the car.

"We're leaving now... I'll call you during my breaks," said Vincent to Hailee.

"I would love that, hubby."

"I love you."

"I love you too," Hailee replied before Vince covered her mouth. "Take care."

Vincent nodded and placed a kiss on her forehead before he walked toward the car and sat in the back seat next to his father-in-law.

"Goodbye, young madam Shen."

"Have a good day, Tim."

Tim bowed at Hailee before he climbed to the passenger seat.

"Be careful driving, Kris!" Hailee told her dad's assistant that soon Kris would work with her once she took her dad's office.

Kristian, seated in the driver's seat, salutes at her. "Goodbye, princess."

Hailee waved as three cars left at the front patio, then slowly disappeared into the giant gate.

Now she could feel a little sadness being left behind. She could not wait to go to the company together with Vincent soon.

But of course, she would also miss the babies every time leaving the kids at home.

'Hmm… So this is the feeling of being a wife and a mom….'

Somehow, it overly warms her heart.
